Hi, I'm a Linux newbie and I am having a real hard time understanding regular expressions. Can anyone recommend a "ground-up" source for information on RE's?
John et al,
I have asked for this before. To me regexes are like algebra and I need a text that will drill me on their use, bit by bit and example by example and give me real world problems after the exercises in each lesson. It's a lot to ask, but it is clearly what I need, ie, drill.
